And with a very modest screen size. Modern IDEs need a huge monitor, and then more, just to show what they want to show you. Not what you need. So when working on webapps, I normally keep my editor (usually an emacs variant) window small, and have lots of terminal windows tracing relevant logs (webserver, db server) and 3~4 webbrowsers logged in as different users. When working on git itself, it's much easier -- as all you need is your editor and your terminal to compile & debug so for a simple task like git itself, an IDE might even work ;-) cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
